The Pennsylvania Online Licensing web site lets residents of the state apply for and renew a number of different licenses online like RN, CNS, CRNP, dietician, pharmacist and more. Residents who apply for a new license or renew their professional license online with the PA pro license

do need to allow 48 hours for the databases to be completely updated to reflect new license information. Any information that a PA resident submits in regard to getting a new license (like Medical Physicians and Surgeons or Medical Acupuncturists) will not be reflected right away.
